For those of you who hate the ugly default X background, the black
and white crossweave net thing, here's a simple little patch that
fixes it and makes it solid black:

It isn't my patch (see ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/patches/),
but it still works. You can only use this if you build your own
XFree86, I'm afraid. To use it:
1) Save the patch to a file, say, die-ugly-pattern-die-die-die.patch.
2) Change to the top level directory that contains your X source
(the directory that contains the xc directory).
3) Execute:
$ patch -p0 < die-ugly-pattern-die-die-die
$ cd xc
$ make
$ su
# make install
After modifying the X source tree in which you've already done a
"make World," you only need to say "make" in order to incorporate
the changed files. If you haven't built X already, you'll need to
say "make World".
